That is an interesting point, Su Yuen. I have nothing against monetisation, but i definitely believe in passion when it comes to blogging. If you talk to Brown, he is quite passionate about what he does and blog on things he believes in. Shall reserve other comments about other blogger/s.

I might be wrong but I believe another part of the problem is people blogging for the purpose of getting fame and money (partly thanks to the media promoting the amount of money power bloggers like Xiaxue and Mr Brown are making). Hence when they blog, they tend to focus not so much on their own passion but controversial things to attract traffic.

[...] Sure, empowering your brand through the bloggers isn’t simply placing a banner ad in their blog post. It’s about getting the right fit for your product, like Priscilla mentions here in Quality versus Quantity. [...]

Yay! This blog is back! Hahaha, thank god CommunicAsia is over!

I guess to compensate for the lack of sophistication and number of tech bloggers, the message might have to be tailored to them. If the product isn’t too techy and allows these ‘diary’ bloggers to use them on a functional level, that’s great!

But then again, these ppl probably wouldn’t be the early adopters. I’ll probably just use them if the product is starting to gain mass appeal. Till then, maybe Singapore should just stick to the online and printed articles to raise awareness.

Open question: Should bloggers create blogs focused on specific topics or write about anything in life as most of us do? What if a foodie likes cars? Stick to food or blog both?

Don’t have an answer, just throwing it open.

Haa. Daryl, glad that I have some time to write too! Seems like great minds think alike, i totally agree with your thoughts, thus the post’s title of focusing on quality and not just targeting whoever out there.

Dk, nice meeting you last week again. You’re probably right… it takes time to “mature” but there are more and more quality bloggers out there. They might not have the A-listed branding but they know their stuff and have valuable insights.

Hey Bernard!! Long time, my friend. Great to hear from you. Ha. I like bloggers who are intelligent and know their stuff! My stuff! :0

I don’t think Singapore appreciates professional bloggers as compared to those in the US. The reason is that a lot of the companies in Singapore that adopts social media still tends towards bloggers who are controversial.

At the same time, companies should also recognise that not every blogger is a fit. Just because they can do blogger relations doesn’t mean they should, or jump into it and whack everyone who has a blog.

I’ve had a number of emails last week getting me to go for some events which are totally unrelated to my niche. Not to mention very spammy. I made the exact comparison to food bloggers blogging about tech. The fit is just not there, so why bother?

ps: glad to see a new blog post!!
